MARYVALE, Ariz. -- If final impressions are important, several Reds made good ones on Thursday, as both of the split squads won their games. At Goodyear, the Reds defeated the Diamondbacks 9-1, while another Reds team beat the Brewers 8-2 in Maryvale.

In Maryvale, Jason Bourgeois went 2 for 3 with a home run, his first of the spring to finish the spring with a .303, while Roger Bernadina finished the spring with a .413 average, going 1 for 2. Right-handers Pedro Beato and Jumbo Diaz each pitched scoreless innings in Maryvale in front of Reds manager Bryan Price.

"It is for guys that are on the team, it's a different matter when you're trying to make the club. It's completely different for everyone," Price said. "Someone who is trying to make the club isn't taking any risks, just trying to go out there and perform every day and I get it. Our good fortune is that the guys who have a club are good performers. It'll make it even harder for us to make our final decisions."

THE ARMS

In Goodyear, left-hander Tony Cingrani went seven innings, allowing five hits and a run. He walked two and struck out six. Meanwhile in Marydale, J.J. Hoover started and allowed a run on two hits in his inning. Michael Lorenzen pitched four scoreless, but walked five and gave up three hits and walked two.

THE BATS

Billy Hamilton finished off his time in Arizona in style, going 3-for-3 with two triples and an RBI against the Diamondbacks in Goodyear. Jason Bourgeois and Juan Duran homered against the Brewers.

THE REST

With the two wins on Thursday, the Reds finish their spring exhibition season 14-17. With 4,037 at Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, the Reds finished the 15-game spring home schedule with 69,478, an average of 4,632 per game.

UP NEXT

The Reds left Arizona after the game, flying to Pensacola, Fla., where the team will play its Double-A affiliate. Mike Leake (0-1, 6.92 ERA) will start for the Reds against the Blue Wahoos.
